Personal Narrative-Proper Nurse

Hi Mum, Yes, it's pretty shitty at the moment and now we are approaching five months of winter ! oh joy Emoji

I can't say that I've had a boring life, it's certainly been eventful to say the least. It's all part of my journey but I'd like to think that things to get a little easier. I have met Leila on numerous occasions at Susan's get togethers over the years. She did tell me about her aspie husband and child. They both sound fairly low functioning on the autism scale. Aspergers takes various forms in different people, they can be highly functioning like Darren to low functioning like Eileen's brother. You can put everyone who is aspie in the same box. Part of what I love about Darren is due to his aspie nature, ie loyalty, clean, tidy but yes it's certainly challenging. I'd put £100 to say that James Champniss is somehwhere on the spectrum and certainly Freddie has some very strong traits. I really do hope that I haven't missed the boat to get into a relationship. London is the worst place to meet people, too many people who don't have enough time to actually meet people. As for storing your eggs, it's about £10 000+ here to do this, so probably not in realms of possibility at the moment.

Gain a new perspective on things and give me some space from my London life. Potentially, I could fly back to Adelaide for a visit for a couple of weeks afterwards. In terms of the dental implants, they are probably going to be about the same cost as in the UK (if not even more expensive). I've got another appointment with my dentist on Thursday afternoon to talk through steps, costs and work out the best plan. It's certain, that whatever I choose to do it's not going to be cheap. It's bloody really the last thing I need at the

Robison mainly informs the audience about his life and what it’s like to live with autism, leaving the audience interested and curious with questions. "I grew up in the 1960’s before autism was recognized” said Robison, who did not have the best life growing up. It wasn’t until he was 40 years old that he found out that he was diagnosed with Asperger’s and grew up feeling negative about himself.

    This week I had the opportunity to work with Paula, who was a breaker nurse. Since she was breaking, I had a chance to work with the men and women side. To be honest, I felt more comfortable being on the women's side. In fact, I was actually not nervous being on the floor that I felt comfortable joining a bracelet activity where I bonded with Mele and John. I thought it was a calming activity where all your worries seem to disappear and all you think about is what color to choose next.…

    Scraping your knee on the sidewalk, getting hit hard with the basketball, falling off the monkey bars, these are just a few examples of ways you can get hurt at school. The worst case scenario is you would end up going to the school nurse as a result of an accident. Before first grade, suffering an injury was way out of the norm for me. The only time I got hurt in first grade, I bypassed the school nurse and went straight to the hospital. It was a scalding August afternoon, and I just finished another tiring day of first grade.…

    This might just be a tip of the iceberg of the everyday life that an autistic child is going through. I never had a chance to be genuine empathetic to them until I interned at Qingcongquan, one of China’s leading institute for autistic children. My first days at the institute were challenging, puzzling, and all-encompassing. These children require special guidance with social interactions in forming relationships. They showed very different behaviors in how they tried to make sense of an overwhelming world.…
